Have You Ever

Chapter 21 - Longing

Colet's POV

"Tingnan mo nga si ate Aiah, ate Colet nagsisimula na naman. She's surrounded by those guys and she's entertaining them pa. I don't know what to do pag nagka gulo ulit"

Aiah's been dancing wildly at the dance floor medyo marami rami narin ang nainom niya, she's been like this since she found out that Jeremy ghosted her and was married to another woman. Kaya pinipilit kong intindihin kung ganyan ang coping mechanism niya sa nangyari.

"Scarlett, tama na yan napa rami kana yata"!!  Gusto ko na siyang ilayo dahil alam ko na ang motibo ng mga lalaki na nasa paligid niya.

"It's ok Colet, I'm fine I can still manage pa naman!! Ayan na naman siya sa katangahan niya, mukhang nangangamoy gulo na naman.

"Miss wag ka naman KJ, why don't you join us? Let's dance. Drinks on me.

"Join you? My friend is drunk and we need to go home. Subukan mo akong pigilan ng magka subukan tayo" Nauubos na pasensya ko at gusto ko na talaga iiwas si Aiah sa mga taong to.

"Colet please calm down, just 1 more drink then I'll sit down na!!

"Ok, dun muna kami pero babantayan ka parin namin!! Ang kulit din naman ni Aiah pero hinayaan na namin.

Aiah's POV

I'm drunk and I know what they want from me, mga lalaki talaga alam na alam ko na galawan nila. Let me tease them nga.

I seductively went to one of the guys and kissed his cheek, laking gulat naman nila sa ginawa ko.

"Good night lover boy. I'm tired na kasi. Take care guys. I waved them goodbye at isa isa ko silang iniwanan ng flying kiss when someone grabbed my arm.

"Ano yun lang yun? After we spent some money on you iwanan mo lang ng di ka namin napapa kinabangan!!

"Excuse me, I can buy my own drink and I did not ask you to buy me some. Did I hurt your ego kasi di mo ko naiuwi tonight? Ganyan kayong mga lalaki you always think we're just too easy!!

"Sige subukan mo pa siyang hilahin ng tuluyan ko tong ihampas sa ulo mo. Aalis ka o aalis kayo? Shee please call security.

Umalis naman ang mga lalaki natakot sa banta ni Colet at sa paparating na mga security.

"Aiah, umuwi na nga tayo at magpa hinga. Muntik na namang magka gulo. Colet and Sheena are worried and I felt guilty kasi lagi silang nasasali sa gulong kinaka sangkutan ko.

"You can go home first. I'll stay here muna papahangin lang, gusto ko lang mapag isa! Don't worry di ako magpapasaway. I'll stay out of trouble, dun lang ako sa may dalampasigan. Colet gave me a nod and they went back to our hotel na. Naintindihan niya na ang ibig kong sabihin.

I ordered one margarita at dinala ko sa may dagat, I sat on the sand at biglang napatingala sa langit. Ang ganda pala ng mga bituin tonight it feels like I'm here longing for someone. Napabuntong hininga nalang ako at di ko na namalayan tumulo na pala yung mga luha ko.

It's like the pain is always within me, nahirapan akong e accept ang mga pangyayari. I never heard an explanation from him, kahit isang sorry man lang. Minahal nga ba talaga ako ni Jeremy?
Those questions kept on repeating inside my head, kung di niya pala ako mahal bakit niya pinaramdam sakin yun?

I was drunk, heartbroken and stupidly crying my heart out. Seems like this night won't end smoothly at all.
